Step 1: Placing the speakers
The Philips Home Theater System is
simple to install. However, proper
system placement is critical to ensure an
optimum sound experience.
A Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.
B Place the center speaker above the TV or
the main unit so that the center channel’s
sound is localized.
C Place the rear speakers at normal
listening ear level facing each other or
hang on the wall.
D Place the subwoofer at the corner of the
room. Otherwise, keep it at least one
meter away from the TV.

placement choices that are more suitable for
your room layout that provide the sound
experience you enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, never
position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR

Step 2: Connecting to TV
This connection enables you to view the
video playback from this unit. You only
need to choose one of the options
below to make the video connection.
For a standard TV, follow option 1 or
2.
For a progressive scan TV, follow
option 3.
For a HDMI TV, follow option 4.
For TV with only a single antenna
input jack, follow option 5.
Helpful Hints:
It is important to connect this unit directly
to the TV in order to enjoy optimum video
quality.
To hear the TV channels through this unit,
connect the AUDIO IN jacks to the
corresponding AUDIO output jacks on the TV
using an audio cable. Press TV on the remote
control when watching the TV programs.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 1: Using the Video jack
Use the supplied composite video cable
(yellow) to connect the CVBS jack on
the main unit to the video input jack (or
labeled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or
Baseband) on the TV.
It provides good picture quality.
Option 2: Using the S-Video jack
Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the S-VIDEO jack on the main
unit to the S-Video input jack (or labeled

Basic Connections (continued)
Option 3: Connecting to a
Progressive Scan TV or component
video input
The progressive scan video quality is
only available when using Y Pb Pr
connection and a progressive scan TV is
required. It provides superior picture
quality when watching DVD movies.
A Use the component video cables (red/
blue/green - not supplied) to connect the
Y Pb Pr jacks on the main unit to the
corresponding component video input
jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or
YUV) on the TV.
B If your TV accepts progressive signals,
proceed to chapter ‘Getting Started -
Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for
detailed progressive feature setup.
Option 4: Connecting to a HDMI-
compatible TV
HDMI (High De nition Multimedia
Interface) is a digital interface that allows
pure digital video transmission without
the loss of image quality.
A Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to
connect the HDMI OUT on the main
unit to the HDMI IN on a HDMI-
compatible device (e.g., HDMI TV, HDCP
compliant DVI TV.)
B When you have completed the necessary
connections, installation and set-up, see
‘Audio Setup Page and Video Setup Page’
for optimum HDMI audio and video
settings.
Helpful Hints:
The HDMI is backward compatible with
some DVI devices using an appropriate
adaptor plug.
If a DVI device is connected, an additional
audio cable is required for audio transmission.
Option 4
DOCK
Option 3
16
English
Step 3: Connecting the FM
and AM/MW antennas
A Connect AM/MW loop antenna (not
supplied) to the AM/MW jack. Place
the AM/MW loop antenna on a shelf,
or attach it to a stand or wall.
B Connect the supplied FM antenna to the
FM 75 Ω jack. Extend the FM antenna
and  x its ends to the wall.
For better FM stereo reception, connect
an external FM antenna (not supplied.)
Helpful Hints:
Adjust the position of the antennas for
optimal reception.
Position the antennas as far away as
possible from your TV, VCR or other
radiation source to prevent any unwanted
interference.
Basic Connections (continued)
Option 5: Using an accessory RF
